Meeting the needs of the business used to mean standing up a number of built-to-purpose application silos that were difficult to deploy and even more difficult to manage. Not anymore. Vblock platforms can serve as a standardized infrastructure for a vast array of business critical applications—delivering enterprise level functionality, ease of management, and seamless support to the IT infrastructure.

Vblock Solutions are characterized and tested to ensure predictable performance and reduce deployment risk. VCE shares best practices for migrating applications from physical to virtual environments and for managing those applications to deliver required SLAs.
